Planned a girls trip to the beach and this location did NOT disappoint. We had a great beach view from our balcony. Getting to the beach was incredibly easy and convenient. The beach was very clean and the water was beautiful! This will be a place we would be so happy to go back to!

Thanks for sharing your experience! Happy to hear the location, cleanliness, and easy arrival and departure stood out. We appreciate the feedback on the dryer and will look into it. Thanks again for staying with us.
This condo is away from the crowded areas of Fort Walton/Destin. It was so quiet and relaxing. The inside was nice and cute, more than enough space for just my boyfriend and I. The views were a plus! Will book again for sure.
We really enjoyed this condo. It was nice, clean, and very comfortable. I loved waking up and being able to sit out on the balcony every morning and view the ocean. The condo has everything you need for your stay.
The property itself is older but they do a great job of keeping it clean. I loved the fact that they had a bin on the way to the beach that had pool toys and boogie boards that you could use during your stay.
We would definitely stay here again.

Hi Ron
Thank you for coming to stay with us. We really enjoy having all our return guest come in. I just want to ask about the bathroom, are you talking about the ones down here by the office and if so I can let my boss know.
Thank You

This property was amazing! It was feet away from the beach and had a very nice pool. The location was perfect and so close to everything. There were 6 of us and the hot water never ran out for back to back showers. 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms made it very comfortable. Only issue is there was 1 elevator for the whole building. Our unit was very clean.

Reviewer Comments:
Did not know what to expect. But we where blown away at the condo and location. The beach access and pool where awesome and staff was attentive to anything. We lived it so much that staying at condo all day was still a vacation. The money we saved going to a grocery store instead of eating out everyday was great.

Not the unit I booked
Booked through VRBO and when the reservation went through it was for a different unit? By the time I noticed it, it was too late. Be careful , it’s like the old “ bait and switch “ Decided not to use this unit .cannot comment on it.
We had a great stay at the Nautilus for our first time ever in FWB. The side view was great and there was no extra noise from the parking lot below or the small public parking area next door. The building also was pretty quiet, despite being pretty full. I suppose the old, thick concrete structure was built with some decent sound-proofing between units. The unit itself actually had quite a bit of updated furniture than what was shown in the VRBO listing, which was nice. The beds and linens were comfy and the whole place was quite spacious for our family of 5. The check in process was so smooth and the staff was so welcoming and genuinely friendly upon arrival. While our unit was pretty clean, it could likely use a good deep cleaning, as our crawling baby's knees were quite dark after the first 20 minutes of crawling around as we were getting settled in. Otherwise, nothing but good things to say about the management, building, proximity to beach, and overall property.
This condo is a little piece of paradise! We loved opening the balcony doors, hearing the waves, feeling the breeze, and looking out at the ocean. The condo is spacious, clean, comfortable, with a fully stocked kitchen, beautiful bedrooms, and two bathrooms. The complimentary chair service was a plus as rentals get pricey. The location on Okaloosa Island, in between Ft. Walton Beach and Destin is perfect! The beaches there are beautiful but not as crowded as others, which we appreciate. Being on the island also means you’re close to the restaurants and attractions of both Destin and FWB. The building has been updated, staff is friendly, and it always felt safe. Easy beach access, pool, parking, and close to Tom Thumb, Publix, and Alvin’s Island gift shop. We recommend talking a walk on the Okaloosa Island pier, a dolphin cruise and Crab Island excursion with Destin Snorkel, and soaking up the sun on the beach! We always start our stay with dinner at The Crab Trap at the Boardwalk, and lunch at Pompano Joe’s and the Back Porch are musts! Parlor Donuts and Destination donuts are sweet treats and Burrito del Sol is a good choice for a quick bite. We have stayed elsewhere before, but enjoyed this condo so much we plan to return every time we visit the Emerald Coast!
the condo check in process was fantastic; the view not as great as the other one we had stayed previously; however there were a lot more people there this time and it rained a lot ; the staff was phenomenal and super helpful
